What is the quickest and most efficient way to build a house?

Among conventional construction methods, a relatively new construction system based on the use of VST formwork is rapidly gaining popularity.

The VST formwork technology is a monolithic shell construction method whose formwork consists of cement-bonded particleboards (CBPB), which remain in the concrete structure as permanent formwork. VST formwork is made of 24-mm thick cement-bonded particleboards. Specially developed steel spacers are used as connecting elements, which are connected to the board with galvanized screws.

The VST system meets all technical and design requirements. In the West, this technology is used because of its short construction times and substantial labour savings.

Compared to precast concrete, VST panels are lightweight, resulting in savings on delivery and assembly costs. The use of a monolithic concrete core in the VST construction technology ensures that there will be no joints between the panels.

Comparison: VST system and precast concrete systems

Main fabricated components;• walls • slabs • beams • columns • stairs • special elements;• columns, beams, slabs (and others) • prestressed structures • precast members (pipes, etc.) Ideal areas of application;• hotels and offices • maisonettes (duplex as well) • townhouses • senior residences • schools • residential buildings, etc.;• schools, kindergartens, medical centers • residential buildings, etc. • agricultural facilities, grain elevators • foundations, beams, floor slabs, walls, and other structural components • retaining walls • transportation facilities • bridge and tunnel systems • water and drainage facilities, etc. Ideal project types;• systems with repeated structural elements (especially walls) • structures with load-bearing walls • projects that require a comfortable microclimate;• commercial facilities • industrial facilities and infrastructure • bridges, towers, tunnels • frame structures • residential and public buildings Main advantages;• lightweight elements that are easy to transport and move • high accuracy, independence from local standards • very efficient and fast construction method • full range of structural elements • easy production and assembly • high simultaneous transportation capacity (long-haul transportation possible);• ideal for multi-span commercial and industrial buildings with a frame system • large number of standardized structural elements (beams, columns, slabs, etc.) Accuracy and precision;• industrial prefabrication allows for high precision of the formwork elements • basic material (cement-bonded particleboard) can be used for a specific production;• assembly tolerances of precast reinforced concrete structures exceed those of the VST system Less staff on site;• approximately 55% of the total work is carried out off-site • a gang of 5-6 workers per crane is sufficient • it is possible to reduce site maintenance costs (shorter construction time, lighter elements);• heavy elements • a small gang is required • transportation depends on the load, production facilities should be as close to the construction site as possible Architectural flexibility;• no design constraints (except for curved walls, which will be formed into a polygon) • each element is produced separately;• the formwork mold is used hundreds of times in the plant, elements with the same geometric dimensions are preferable

The main advantages of VST technology over other formwork solutions are:

Reduced construction time and costs.
The VST system reduces construction time on site by up to 50% compared to other conventional systems. For example, a 700 m² floor requires only one week for an assembly team of 5 people.

Compact construction area
The VST system makes it possible to construct buildings in dense urban areas, as less space is required for the equipment. The panels are delivered and assembled simultaneously. Immediately after the concrete has reached its design strength, interior finishing works begin.

High quality
The VST system ensures high accuracy and excellent build quality. Consequently, it requires minimal interior finishing, resulting in considerable cost and time savings.

Cleanliness on the construction site
The amount of construction site waste is minimal when using the VST formwork technology and therefore the clean-up costs are low.

Use of low-capacity cranes
The low weight of the VST panels reduces delivery and assembly costs.

We recommend you to pay attention to VST technology, we are sure that this type of construction will not disappoint you.
